i was actually attempting to make a top 20 this year, but as it turns out i have really only spent the year listening to 5-6 records, religiously. sure there’s a lot of good-great stuff out this year, but not much has held my attention past a few listens. there are two records though that really to my ears are minor classics, and are battling it out for the number 1 spot. should have my list compiled by early next week, i hope.

in other news, here are a few uncle tupelo demos that were once on tape that goes by the name of colorblind and rhymeless. sadly, up until last night, i didnt even know this existed. second time in a week, see the hip demos, that something like this had escaped my consciousness for far too long. and i call myself a completest….

1. before i break
2. i got drunk
3. screen door
4. blues die hard
5. pickle river
